It has been several months since the Duchy of Wesselheim invaded Anatolia. In the span of a few months, Wesselheim was able to fulfill most of its strategic goals, capturing many towns, bridges, and bases along the way. Most Anatolians had fled their towns before the arrival of Wesselheimian troops, though those that remained were forcibly moved to the coastline, far away from the frontline. In the town of Champagne, once a prosperous town with a booming wine industry, all that remained were the skeletons of long-dead peasants, as well as an undersupplied force of Wesselheimian troops left behind to defend it. Fortunately, things were mostly quiet in this ghost town, eerily quiet...
Private Bainbridge: Damn this Anatolian winter. I know we're enemies and all, but did they really have to be so cruel to empty the wine cellars before skipping town? God knows I could use some bubbly ale to keep me warm...
Lieutenant Harper: So you'd rather be out fighting on the frontlines? I'd sign your transfer papers right now if it shuts you up once and for all. Stop yapping and stay sharp.
Private Bainbridge: Sorry sir. Whoah, there's a rider approaching!
Lieutenant Harper: Hold it right there lad, state your business
The rider looks up from the handlebars of his bike, his face flush from exhaustion.
Corporal Lincoln: Sir, you're a sight for sore eyes. How far are we from Saint-Alexandre?
Lieutenant Harper: Saint-Alexandre? That's at least 20 miles West! You won't be getting anywhere near there on that bicycle of yours, especially not at this time of day. Who even are you?
Corporal Lincoln: Aide de-camp to Brigadier Ashby, sir. I have with me classified intel that I need to deliver by tomorrow.
Lieutenant Harper: Tell you what lad, there's a resupply convoy arriving tomorrow afternoon. You can spend the night here and hitch a ride with them tomorrow.
Corporal Lincoln: Thank you sir. I was harassed by some Anatolian skirmishers, though I managed to shake them off.
Lieutenant Harper: Hmm, let's hope they don't come anywhere here, you're safe with us though.
The next morning...
Lieutenant Harper: Corporal... corporal! Wake up!
Corporal Lincoln: Wha...mornin' sir. What a beautiful day isn't it?
Lieutenant Harper: You tell me. Those Anatolians that attacked you yesterday, sure they weren't following you?
Corporal Lincoln: Positive sir, I was able to escape them and ride off undetected.
Lieutenant Harper: Uh huh, then what's that out there?
The lieutenant pointed his finger out the window, revealing two squads of Anatolian conscripts amassing on the edge of town.
Corporal Lincoln: Oh shhhiteeee.WELCOME TO THE BATTLE FOR CHAMPAGNE!
